i am at the office on campus listening to phillip glass' "einstein on the beach" in order drown out the giggling aftermath of a chinese culture party while writing the prospectus for my thesis about ghosts in literature and film which will also serve as an outline for my term paper on a book about specters, phillip's minimalist composition acting as a caricature of the word revenant, mulling over the numerous meanings of ghost, haunting, Shakespeare's usage and why it garnered certain meaning in popular usage i can't stop thinking about how much i miss my wife and my little girls and that by the time this is all finished i may not be much more than the dream of a haunting in their beautiful memories.

i wish i could have been there with you, it seems however, that a haunting is a very individual thing. who knows, maybe we are both just fantasmas helping to remind, or return each other to were we need to arrive.
and if you see any of those baggy pants...
LOVE einstein on the beach. made for excellent accompaniment to el cuarto de atrás while cramming for the specialty exam. you should ask vanessa if she'll loan you her old vhs copy of the pbs special on the making of e on the b.
and your girls are adorable.
